Countries have been competing against each other in order to attract financial investment and human capital for decades. However, emerging economies have a long way to go before they achieve the same levels of competitiveness as a developed economy. Lack of firm institutions, inadequate infrastructure, and a lack of trust in the legal system are urgent and unavoidable factors that emerging economies must address. The Handbook of Research on Increasing the Competitiveness of SMEs provides innovative insights on integrating, adapting, and building models and strategies compatible with the development of competitiveness in small and medium enterprises in emerging countries. The content within this publication examines quality management, organizational leadership, and digital security. It is designed for policymakers, entrepreneurs, managers, executives, business professionals, academicians, researchers, and students.

La ventaja competitiva de las empresas no radica en sus recursos materiales, energéticos, financieros, ni tecnológicos, sino en el nivel de formación y gestión de sus recursos humanos. Ya Bill Gates decía a finales del siglo XX que una empresa gestiona, esencialmente, datos, documentos y el trabajo de las personas, y que por ello su finalidad es mejorar la manera en que las personas colaboran entre ellas. En esta nueva edición se reiteran los conceptos, tecnologías y enfoque de la edición anterior, y se describe el rol de la tecnología en la Gestión del Recurso Humano (GRH), el capital intelectual en la empresa, la gestión por competencias, la selección de personal, los planes de carrera, la organización que aprende (learning organization) y la compensación laboral. Se incluye un nuevo capítulo sobre evaluación del desempeño laboral y su relación con el desempeño estratégico empresarial bajo el modelo conceptual de análisis GRH-DPC (Diagnóstico, Planificación y Control). Este texto sirve de referencia para estudiantes de pregrado y posgrado en Administración de Empresas, Psicología y Trabajo Social, y sobre todo para directivos y profesionales que tienen fe en el mejoramiento humano.

The book presents a new type of leadership focused on sustainable human development and organizational sustainability, which is based on the self-realization of the person of the leader, which means the satisfaction of their needs, according to the scale of Abraham Maslow, through integral human development in all aspects of life. Because the term "leader" appears to refer to anyone with the authority to confer a position with subordinates, the reality within organizations has shown that a leader must go further and demonstrate commitment, awareness, and concern for the common good. Which person has these characteristics? People who have had more opportunity to develop in different areas of their being, resulting in them being conceived as more educated. The qualities in a person are the basis of leadership. Education and practice are much more important than all hereditary and genetic codes. This volume explores the various ways of making explicit the dimensions of social, economic, and environmental sustainability through knowledge management that addresses the identification, collection, processing, circulation, use, exchange, and preservation of knowledge within operating systems and the context of organizations, considering issues that contribute to sustainability – human and organizational – where the leader is the main actor and the means is knowledge management.
